Former top narcotics officer, Barry Cooper tired of the corruption in his department, quit his position in the drug enforcement arm of the police. He later created videos how to avoid getting arrested by the police, where to hide marijuana from prying eyes, and how to conduct yourself during a traffic stop.
Of course, corrupt law enforcement, marches on, they just can't seem to help themselves as excessive power goes hand in hand with illegal behavior. Cooper ratcheted it up a notch and formed www.kopbusters.com, a television reality show that entices crooked cops with various sting operations into breaking the law.
Their first episode featured a fake "grow house" complete with lighting, ventilation and giving all the appearances of an illegal marijuana growing operation. What was actually being grown there was two Christmas trees. With cameras to film it all and an illegally obtained warrant to search the grow house in the first place, the police raiding party ended up with egg on their faces.
"Good" cops should absolutely adore the concept of Kopbusters and should help Barry Cooper, not fear his actions. Would they dare deny that crooked officers even exist? They always say that "if you've got nothing to hide..." then it would only be fair for citizens to film them in action as they should as police have even less to hide.
Those that want to make a positive change to their operations, claim that they are afraid of the wrath of their higher ups that rise through the ranks as scum does to the top of a pond. Police should do what they can to expose and eliminate those criminals, that are covering up for other criminals, in the name of removing criminals from the streets. The badge is not a license to outright ignore the law or twist it for a person's own ends.
With Liberty,
Dan Steward
